About Beszel
Beszel is open source, lightweight server monitoring software. It tracks the health of your servers and the containers running on them, and it keeps history so you can see trends.
What it does
Beszel records CPU, memory and network usage over time for each system. For Docker and Podman, it also tracks the stats of each container. You can set alerts on most metrics and send them to many notification services. Each user manages their own systems, and admins can share systems across accounts. Backups can be saved to disk or to S3-compatible storage.
Key features
- CPU, memory and network history
- Docker and Podman container stats
- Configurable alerts for most metrics
- Multi-user access with shared systems
- REST API and automatic backups
Who it's for
Home lab users and system administrators who want a simple view of their servers without a heavy monitoring stack. Small teams that run a few servers will also find it manageable.
Pricing and good to know
Beszel is released under the MIT license and is free to use. It supports OAuth and OIDC sign-in, and password login can be turned off. It is designed to be light on resources, and it does not need to be exposed to the public internet to work.
